Precautions before local anesthesia

-
There are two different types of anesthesia used in the field of plastic surgery: General anesthesia is used for two jaw, facial contouring and breast augmentation surgery. While eyes and nose surgery is with local anesthesia.

Local anesthesia is a way of relieving patients from pain and fear. Unlike general anesthesia, it's easily to be waken by shaking the patient's body or talking to the patient. Patients can breath by their own, while breathalyzer is needed for a general anesthesia.


For the safe use of local anesthesia, patient's age, current health status, history of drugs, and any allergy should be considered before the injection. Also, avoid from any type of anesthesia if you currently have a cold or any sickness.


Drinking any type of liquid or any food consumption is strictly prohibited at least 3 hours before the local anesthesia. (including cigarettes, gum, candy) After the surgery, it's better to start consuming food again after completely waking up from the anesthesia and dizziness goes away.

Patients may experience dizziness, headache, temporary memory disorder, vomit, or spasm. But these are temporary issue and will be go away within few hours. The most important thing to consider is have a designated driver or take a public transportation.
Driving to the clinic and back home by themselves isn't allowed.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes.

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average.
